So you are placing your faith in an unseen law of nature?

How is this different than the Christian putting his faith in an unseen God? And why should your faith be taught in schools paid for with my taxes?

Nope. Just making the simple statement that we might know more about our world tomorrow than we do today and provided specific examples that support my assertion.

Science is not faith. It is the study of the natural world around us. Religion is faith. It is the study of the spiritual world, which by definition, is not detectable by existing scientific instruments or tests.

Religion does not belong in science classes until it can scientifically prove it's assertions.
